What this bill would do

This joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It notes that Congress has not declared war or enacted specific statutory authorization for such military force. The resolution cites the War Powers Resolution, stating that the President must terminate the use of forces within 60 days of notification unless authorized by Congress. It identifies that the current 60-day period following the President's March 2, 2026, notification ends on May 1, 2026. The resolution serves to mandate the removal of these forces unless explicit congressional authorization is provided.
